Skip Licence Requirements

Any skip placed on a public highway requires a licence from the council. chiltonSkips.com will arrange a skip licence for you, along with all necessary lighting on the skip to comply with regulations. You will not need a skip licence if you’re putting the skip entirely on private land.

Skip licences can take up to 7 working days to obtain and vary in cost depending upon local authority.
